Lime Crime Pocket Candy Palette in Sugar Plum

This palette from Lime Crime was a must for me. The Pocket Candy Palettes resemble one of my favorite childhood toys, Polly Pockets! You know, before they made her too big to actually be "pocket" sized. There are 3 different ones - a yellow, a blue and a pink. Naturally, I went for the pink one because that one just has colors I know I will use a lot.

It's called Sugar Plum, and has 5 shades.

It also has a mirror that takes up most of the inside cover.

Sugar & Spice is a pinky bronze.

Fairy Floss is a lavender with a turquoise iridescence.

Icing is a shimmery white.

Candied Plum is a shimmery berry pink.

Nutcracker is a deep brown semi-matte.

When I first swatched the palette with my finger, I wasn't very impressed. They all felt kind of dry and just not the greatest quality shadows. But, as soon as I started playing around with it and doing looks on my eyes, it surprised me! The shades all apply nicely and blend out well on the lid. Icing could be a liiiiitle more pigmented for my liking, but other than that this is a pretty nice palette. It has taken up a permanent space on top of my makeup table because it's just so damn cute!
